That's weird--I'm way more productive when I'm not using a mouse.

You just think you're more productive because you get to slam "jjjjjjjjjjjjlllllllllll" to position your cursor.

Use the mouse for what it's good at: pointing at things and selecting text. Use the keyboard for what it's good at: entering text, such as regular expressions to transform the code you just highlighted.
